abley iight-@miam mmm-7 f'l@ pa'cum r'harafzter of which zwi; if. xfntzl, but which is bemin smvn an acyl'ene gas hmm? 4, it being understood ibut :my umher suitane igh-umishng means may be @mpj/ed if desired v Th@ casing; is przwfed wih an aperi irme 5, across which muy Teal', whim comme '5m'- zmd n" auch providing the lamp casing With a pair of ears. tt), embracing a liracltet 17, and clamped against the latter li),v a screw 1S, having a. thumb nut. lt). 'By this means, the lamp n'iay lic adjusted so as to permit relative adjustment ot the reltector 18 and the numberplate l-l to vary the direction ot the rays ot light. directed toward the latter. For the salie ot illustration, l have sho-wn in the drawings a mud-guard 2O ot a motor cycle, and ha\c shown the number-plate lit and the bracket 1T secured thereto. Preferably the number-plate let is so placed that its displa)7 surface is disposed atan angle, and the rays ot light rellected therconto, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

While I have herein shown and described one t'orm ot my invention for illustrative purposes, and have disclosed and discussed in detail the construction and arrangcmei'it `incidental to one specific embodiment thereoi", it is to be understood that the invention is limited neither to the mere details nor relative. arrangement ot parts, nor to its spccilic application herein shown, but that extensive deviations trom the illustrated torni or embodimentot' the invention may he made without departing trom the brinciples thereol.

.Having thus described one form ot my invention, what I claim is l. il lamp having, in combination, light'- t'urnishing means, ligld-transmitting means including two elements et' dili'erent color elmracleristies through which elements the rays ot light pass in one direction, and lightrei'lecling means located in the path oit the rais passing` through one of said elements and forming a shield for the latter.

it lamp having, in conlbination, lightiurnisliing means, light-transmitting means including two elements haring diii'erent color characteristics, light-rctlecting means for retleoting the rays of light from the lightl'urnishing means through said light-transmitting means, and light-reliecting means disposed at an angle to the path ot the rays passing through said .light-transmitting means and arranged to shield one of said elements.

3. A lamp having, in combination, lighturnishing means, ligld-transmitting means including two elements having different color chai-acteristics, light-reflecting means 'for directly retlecting the rays of light from the liglitrturnishing means through both of: said elements, and light-reflecting means disposed at an angle to the path of the rays passing through one ot said elements and forming a. shield for the latter.

Ll. The combination `with an object; to he illuminated, ot a casing, light-furnishing means within said casino, light-reflecting means located externallyv ot said casing' tor reflect-ing a portion of the rays et light in one direction onto said object, and means for giving other rays ot the light a different color characteristic and transmitting thereAv in'another direction across the path of the lirst` rays.

The combination with an object toibe illuminated, of light-furnishing means, light-reflecting means for renecting a portion of the rays ot light in one direction onto said object, and means for transmitting other rays ot the light in another direction across the path ot' the tirst. rays, said object having a displayv surface disposed at an angle to the ra ys ot' light reflected thereonm,

A lamp having, in combination, a casing having an aperture, light-furnishing means 'in said casing, lighttransmitting means comprising two elements having ditterent color characteristics disposed acr ss said aperture, and light-reflecting means located exteriorl)Y ot sai d casing and disposed at an angle to both ot said light-transmitting elements.

'7. A lamp having, isi combi ing having ah apert'cre, lig iturviishing means in said casing. light-transmitting means including two elements disposed across said aperture, on4` of said liglit tt mitting elements being colored, and lightreecting means locateo` exteriorly of said easing 'tor reflecting the 3 ays ot light "which pass through the other c said elements.

In testimony whereof, .t have signed my naine to this specification in the presence ot' tivo subscribing Witnesses.
